This was my attempt at trying to make a crust out of sweet potatoes. I had 3 of the white variety. I though of making potato chips, but slicing them was a bit of a chore at the time. So I grated and chopped it finely andmixed it up with some olive oile, salt, pepper, and paprika. Baked it until It looked ready. I prebaked it before adding the toppings. It came out a bit soft and it was still soft even after baking with the toppings. But it was actually really good. I used a fork to eat it, but it was definitely tasty. I'll eventually figure out how to properly crisp up a sweet potato in the oven. For now I'm content with some of the resulting dishes I've had. It was actually fun to tear into it.
Serves 2-3
Sweet Potato Bake (Pizza Style?)
3 small to medium sweet potato (white variety)- peeled grated
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp paprika
1/2 Tbsp dry thyme
extra virgin olive oil
1 c Bertolli Arribbiata Sauce
1 1/2 c shredded cheese
1 small tomato - deseeded and chopped
1/4 c sun dried tomato - rough chopped
Preheat your oven to 450˚F
In a bowl, mix together the grated sweet potato, salt, pepper and paprika. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Press down firmly until it forms a crust 1/4-inch thick. Pre-bake for 10-15 minutes.

So creative! It's almost like a sweet potato hash crust.
What is the white variety?
I've been wondering how to get sweet potatoes really crisp too. Sounds great as a pizza crust!
oh pretty cool very creative have a great weekend
It looks pretty darn delish!
Another clever meal! GREG
i love this. i must try this. you know i love my sweet potato and pizza. very clever chicklet.
How creative! And delicious! Maybe mixing the potato with a little flour and egg might work to make it more like a dough?
What a great idea! I'm so stealing it. Heh. Maybe hitting it with the broiler at first might crisp it up? Or preheating the pan you're cooking it on?
Interesting!! And it looks and sounds good:)

Interesting! I wonder if you shredded the sweet potatoes and then fried them up like hash browns if they would crisp up?
You are so clever and creative Jenn - this looks tasty.
Mmmmm... I can't imagine this NOT tasting good!
It totally looks like a pizza! And I bet if you made a huge one it would be fun eating family-style with friends.
What a great idea - love the sweet taste that a sweet potato would add to the mix
